Duo-Gard Industries Lumenatrix Backlighting

Lumenatrix Backlighting is a single, sustainable structure that provides architectural illumination for commercial buildings. Manufactured by Duo-Gard Industries, it is made up of LEDs and translucent panels to create back-lit columns that are an energy-efficient alternative to wall-mounted fluorescent light fixtures using just 1W per square foot. A proprietary heat sink design keeps the fixture at 81 F, below the standard target of 120 F for unit longevity. Lumenatrix can be fabricated as thin as 2-1/2″ and is available in panels or tiles with a substrate of light-diffusing glazing or stretched fabric panels. duo-gard.com
